Born in the Wild is a new four-part documentary series which explores the reproductive behaviours and biology of the animal kingdom. Presented by anatomist Professor Joy Reidenberg and vet Mark Evans, each program focuses on four different species - elephant, dolphin, kangaroo and orangutan - and takes an in-depth look at how these animals find, fight for and woo the opposite sex. They also explore how they mate, give birth and raise their young in extreme environments.

This fascinating documentary series explores the reproductive behaviours and biology of the animal kingdom. This episode, Joy and Mark are in Australia to uncover the reproductive secrets of some of the strangest mammals on Earth - the pouch-wearing Marsupials.

Veterinarian Mark Evans uses technology to tackle three deadly predators: the great white shark, crocodile and polar bear. When these animals attack humans, both sides lose. As more people are killed or maimed, more animals are killed in retaliation. Evans wants to find ways to break this circle of violence and protect both humans and animals. Follow him as he tries out ingenious high-tech solutions to the most hostile wildlife conflicts on earth.
